Modern Family :Season 2
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
When I saw summer promos of this sit com I thought it looked forced and very predictable. As Cam would exclaim, “Surprise!” It is well cast, written, and consistently laugh out loud funny. The documentary camera bit is actually as well done, no, even better than one of the best, The Office. I recognized most of the talented adult cast, they have great chemistry, and it was so hilarious when Shelley Long guest starred as the ex wife. But it is the kid actors on the show who are amazingly well directed in their parts- Manny, as a son, stepson, brother, uncle, and cousin is a hoot: he can wisecrack with the best of them, and then break your heart when dad isn’t able to fulfill his promise for the weekend. I always thought Steve Levitan did agreat job with “Just Shoot Me”, on NBC and I think he and ChristopherLloyd have got a hit show for ABC. Take a look at this so ABC won’t cash in on some more ridiculous reality shows.-mareller-1
Give this show a chance. I really kind of watched it against my will, but figured I’d give it a shot. I bet out of a hundred pilots, I would like maybe one – this was that one. I literally laughed out loud at numerous parts – the way that it comes together is interesting / well-done – each couple has an interesting balance – great dialog (IMDB won’t let me spell it with a “ue” at the end) – original characters – I’m impressed.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen ABC come out with something in this vein. Normally their shows are a bit watered down, but this is edgy and as fresh as anything I’ve seen hit network TV. I know that comparisons to Arrested Development will be frequent, but I think that this has more structure. The characters aren’t as wacky, but they’re more believable and easier to sympathize with in my eyes. Tremendous acting, great kid actors – I forwarded the pilot to a bunch of people already, and I feel lucky that I got to watch it before it came out officially.
